Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

"A half month ago."

Gu Qixin said that it was indeed so, the coal mine collapsed half a month ago, and at that time, he and Xu Yihua and Huiqi were recuperating in Jiangcheng, so naturally they knew nothing about the things here.Then they went to Zhaoyuan County together and met Zhong Weiyuan. It was the other party's obstruction that made Gu Qi and Xu Yihua aware of the clues, so they could get here in a short time.

He had reason to believe that if he had come a little later, they would have gradually buried the collapse of the Qianniaoshan coal mine, or found a more perfect scapegoat to destroy all evidence against them.

"The coal mine collapsed?!" Liu Sanniang was shocked when she heard that, "Then Zhao Qing...he..."

"Zhao Si is dead." Feng Youcai's eyes swept over Liu Sanniang, and a faint disgust flashed across.

"You're lying!" Liu Sanniang covered her ears, her whole body trembling with emotion.

This sudden scream made Gu Qi and Zhao Si stare sideways, especially Zhao Si, his face was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Bitch! Don't be hypocritical!"

Gu Qi asked: "How many people died in the coal mine at that time?"

Sun Youcai's eyes flashed: "The villain is just a master bookkeeper. How can I know these things? If the Imperial Envoy wants to know, why don't you just ask Master Feng."

There was coldness in Gu Qi's eyes. This Sun Youcai knew how to practice Tai Chi, so he left this matter to Feng Kejie. This Qiandiao Mountain was originally within the scope of Jeju, and the collapse of the coal mine was naturally inseparable from Feng Kejie.Back then, Gu Qi couldn't ask anything from the other party's mouth, so how can he ask now.

"Do you know?" Gu Qi turned his gaze, swept across the yamen servants, and landed directly on the arrester who had just spoken.

The policeman spoke very simply this time without hesitation: "After the collapse of the coal mine, the mine side tried its best to block the news. Basically, we couldn't know the specific situation, but some news still spread in a small area. What I heard was 23 dead."

"How did I hear that 19 people died." The companion next to the yamen servant said with some doubts.

"I heard that 27 people died!"

"No, it's obviously 15 people!"

"It's 22 people."

The yamen servants above the court opened their mouths one after another, telling the gossip they had heard, and the number of deaths in the majority of the population was different.

But the only thing in common is that the death toll did not exceed 30!

Dagan stipulated that if a coal mine collapses and the death toll exceeds 30, it must be reported to the court, and the emperor will personally intervene in the matter. If the death toll does not exceed 30, local officials can only report it without alarming the emperor.

If it is said that there is nothing tricky in it, it is absolutely impossible, Gu Qi is the first to not believe it, otherwise why all kinds of speculations, the number of people did not exceed 30?

The so-called gossip that came out before this must have been known by someone with a heart. The death toll was probably under control, but I don’t know how many people actually died, but it must be more than 30 people.

"There are three coal mines in Qianniao Mountain. I don't know which one has collapsed?" Liu Sanniang has now stabilized her emotions, and a firm look slowly appeared in her eyes.

Sun Youcai glanced at Liu Sanniang in surprise, "The one that collapsed was the coal mine on the west side."

Liu Sanniang's face turned pale again: "Zhao Qing... is in the coal mine on the west side of Qiandiao Mountain... Could it be that he..."

"I said he's dead when he's dead." Sun Youcai snorted coldly, showing disdain.

The coal mine on the west side... Gu Qi thought for a while.

But I heard that Liu Sanniang asked: "Since Zhao Qing has been dead for half a month, why didn't the coal mine come down with a notice, and we were still in the dark! So many people died, why did Mr. Feng keep silent? Could it be that they want to treat Zhao Qing and the others as missing persons?"

What a articulate woman!

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, he underestimated this woman named Liu Sanniang, he did not expect the other party to ask such a sharp question at this moment.

"Liu Sanniang." Sun Youcai stared at her closely, threatening, "Don't make trouble for no reason, Master Feng is still investigating this matter, and I will give you an explanation in the future!"

Gu Qi glanced at Sun Youcai, a sneer emerged from the corner of his mouth, he turned to look at Liu Sanniang, and became gentle again: "Liu Sanniang, your husband Zhao Qing has been missing innocently for three months, do you want to report to the authorities?"

Liu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "Yes, Mr. Imperial Envoy, the women want to report to the officials!"

"Very good." Gu Qi sat back on the chair again, glanced casually at everyone in the courtroom, raised his voice, and said in a manly voice, "This imperial envoy will definitely do his best to help you find your husband Zhao Qing, don't worry!"

This time, he not only wanted to find out the doorways in the coal mine, but also followed the vine to pull out all the gourds from the vine, leaving none behind.

He will never let what happened a year ago happen again before his eyes!

A year ago, he had a great reputation. As the most famous investigator at present, he held a token bestowed by the emperor, traveled all over the world, and investigated cases without any disadvantages. The secret detection of the collapse of the coal mine will definitely help the court eradicate the cancer.

However, although he is top-notch in investigating cases, he still has deficiencies in other areas. It is precisely because of these deficiencies that the people behind the scenes take advantage of them. For him to make a fake on the corpse, Gu Qi's investigation direction was deviated.Advanced, the other party forged the scene, bought people's hearts, and pointed all kinds of clues to a small official in Jeju City.He also made one wrong step, wrong step by step, which eventually led to tragic consequences. He misidentified the murderer, and the eleven members of the official's family hanged themselves to death.

And he finally came to his senses gradually under the shock of his life. It turned out that the official had been honest and upright all his life, defying power, and had been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, but he still didn't get along with them.But even if he had already sensed something was wrong, and tried his best to clear the innocence of that little official and give them back their fame, it would be too late.Not only did it kill the official's family, but he was also caught and reported to the court, and almost lost his life. Fortunately, the emperor gave him a favor, and he only made his martial arts abolished, leaving him alive.

Today, it has been a whole year, and now he is standing in this place again, and encountered almost the same case as before.This time, he will never make the same mistakes again, not only because he has gained a lot of wisdom, but also because he has Xu Yihua by his side.

A person who can trust wholeheartedly, a person who fights hand in hand with himself.

Oh, and Huiqi, let's skip this one for now.

"Why did you skip me!" Huiqi was very unconvinced, "I am also very useful!"

Gu Qi followed behind the officers and soldiers and climbed Qiandiao Mountain with difficulty, and asked, "What's your use, other than warming the bed?"

Huiqi frowned and thought hard: "I sewed your clothes!"

"In the end my clothes couldn't be worn anymore and I had to buy them again."

"I peeled your melon seeds!"

"Let's not talk about the potholes, but it ended up in your own stomach."

"You... next time you pretend to be a prostitute, I can pretend to be a client!"

Gu Qi slipped and almost fell.

Xu Yihua rubbed his eyebrows: "Thank you for thinking it out."

"Hey, I'm such a smart person, how could I not figure out what's useful for me!" Huiqi said triumphantly.

Last night, Xu Yihua and Xu Yihua talked about what happened in the courtroom, and the two decided to come to the collapsed coal mine the next day to find out the truth.

But Qiandiao Mountain is still outside Jeju City, and it stretches for several miles, it is extremely huge. They led a team of officers and soldiers up the mountain, and walked along the winding mountain road to the coal mine halfway up the mountain. Bulu yelled that he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't walk anymore.

"Thanks to your youth and strength, you can't even compare to a child like me." Hui Qi showed contempt.

Gu Qi was serious, he picked up his throat and imitated Hui Qi's usual way of speaking, and said: "Girls my age can get married and have children."

Huiqi's face changed, she naturally remembered that this was what she said before, and it was the best way to bet on herself at this time.Looking at Gu Qi's panting appearance, he made a grimace and said arrogantly, "It's your fault that your kidneys are not good enough, and your yang energy is not enough!"

"Who do you say is lacking in yang energy! How can you, a brat, understand that I have been majestic for thousands of years!" Hui Qi was so angry that Gu Qi raised his leg and wanted to catch up and beat him up.

However, Hui Qi slipped around among the officers and soldiers, relying on his flexibility, Gu Qi caught him several times but failed to catch him, instead he became even more out of breath.

"Oh, I'm getting old and my health is not good." Gu Qi shook his head, trying his best to calm down his breathing.

Xu Yihua said in a low voice: "You are not even [-] years old, why are you old?"

Gu Qi said with a smile: "Compared with Hui Qi, he is older, but compared with you, it is still appropriate."

A warm current flowed through Xu Yihua's heart, and he murmured: "Yes...it's quite appropriate."

After another half an hour, they arrived at the coal mine on the west side of Qiandiao Mountain.

Standing on the repaired flat and wide platform outside the coal mine, Gu Qi's gaze swept across the entire coal mine.

The scale of this coal mine is not too large. Judging from the size of the site, it is about a medium-sized coal mine. When Gu Qi arrived, there were still people busy here, and miners were entering and leaving the mine on the mountainside. He was holding a kerosene lamp on his chest, and he was carrying a large bamboo basket on his back, which contained a basket full of raw coal.The raw coal was still moist with moisture, and water was dripping down the bamboo basket. The heavy basket of raw coal bent the backs of the miners, but every miner only had a numb expression on their faces.

They repeat the same thing every day, entering the mine, mining raw coal, transporting it out, and then repeating the process, and at the end of the month, they get the wages that do not match what they paid. This is their life.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, looking at the coal mine as if nothing had happened, looking at everyone's unmoved expressions, looking at the officials around who are still scolding, a burst of anger burst from Gu Qi's chest. A burst of anger was fierce, and it swept through Gu Qi's brain in an instant, making his whole body tremble.

"Why is coal still being mined here!!!"
